Swallowing

What will be an ideal response?


In terms of practical, applied information, swallowing provides a great opportunity to discuss anatomy in a format that students can appreciate. As mentioned earlier, digitized MBSs are a great way to approach this discussion, and you can find some online. You can also utilize the animation on swallowing included on this CD-ROM. I have found that students greatly appreciate the opportunity to examine these and to peek into the world of the professional SLP.
